I should add to this that not long after I got my GP I found the original diff ratio to be hopeless for cruising. It had a 3.23 open rear.

I got a 2.56 Posi, had it gone through and installed it. Transformed the car.

Prior ratio had it revving hard to the point it was intolerable. The 2.56 makes such a lovely long cruiser. I don't need fast off the line nor do I drive in mountains. I just wanted a car with long legs that burbles along without a fuss.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
